Kickstarter Hopeful: A Tofu Tale
Videogame stories involving wayward travellers getting cursed are nothing new. We have seen curses morph people and the lives they lead many times before. Yet through all my years in gaming I have finally seen a new curse.
Alchemedium games is now working to create A Tofu Tale, the story of a man who is cursed to become Mr. Tofu thanks to a vile Kitsune.
The core gameplay mechanic in A Tofu Tale is a colour-based restriction on movement. Mr. Tofu is only able to move to tiles of the same colour as himself. Mr. Tofu can change his colour by absorbing the properties of the various elemental orbs floating around. As he travels to new worlds, new gameplay elements unique to particular stages will provide extra challenge to players.
Mr. Tofu, a once simple woodsman, will have to await and see if players want to take his challenges to cure him of his curse. The game's Kickstarter page has art and audio samples.
The game's initial funding goal is $10,000. As always the market will decide what it likes. If you wish to save a man from spending the rest of his life as a flavourless food, donate to the Kickstarter here.
